"Quick sir! Inside!"

Daniel urged Victor to hide inside Yellowleaf's Orphanage. After they both went in, they quickly barred the doors and took a peek outside the window to see if they could spot the deranged creature that was chasing them.

"It looks like we lost him, I suggest we stay in here for a while. Huff... Huff...."

Daniel breathed heavily. He was seriously scared of the mutated living armor that chased them. He found it weird for the mutated creature to act like that.

"Normally, these things won't attack anyone as long as no one invades their territory. But this one is roaming around, killing everything it sees! It's as if it was killing for sport!"

"But, what about the residents?! They are in grave danger with that thing running around!"

"Sir Victor, that thing just took out two of my comrades! They are some of the strongest warriors in Phanzal City! If you go out right now, that thing will just kill you instantly! Unfortunately, We can only pray for their safety."

Daniel also knew that he must stay alive at all costs. His comrades have entrusted him the duty of reporting back to Phanzal City in one piece. He must accomplish his mission or else their sacrifice would have been for naught.

"Whack!" "Bam!"

Victor and Daniel suddenly lost consciousness and dropped down on the chapel floor. Two figures have suddenly appeared from the shadows of the Orphanage.

"Have these thieves no honor?! robbing homeless children of what little they have. These people make me sick to my stomach!" ---

"C'mon son, let's tie em up and wait for Mr. Gus to arrive. I'm sure he knows what to do with the likes of them,"

Falkes and Ben tied Victor and Daniel with their backs against each other. They were usually peaceful and timid, but their demeanor completely changes when it involves the welfare of the children.

Like Ms. Sarah Stillwater, Falkes and Ben also manage an orphanage within Phanzal city. They hated people who take advantage of helpless children the most.

"Where is everybody?! Ms. Sarah and Mr. Gus are not back yet. I hope nothing bad happened to them."

The Father and Son, couldn't sleep properly from all the food they ate earlier. So instead, they waited for their benefactors to arrive. They are aware that they are not supposed to be in the village so they did their best to minimize their presence. After all, they do not want to involve Ms. Stillwater with their problems.

Ben and Falkes dragged the pa.s.sed-out duo, towards the dining area. Falkes decided that he wanted to talk to the thieves so he splashed them with a cold bucket of water.

"SPLAs.h.!.+"

"GAHH!! It's Cold!"---

"What happened?!"---

The Splash of cold water has woken them up.

Not a second longer, Victor and Daniel noticed that they cannot move at all. They have just realized that they were both tied up on a chair. Not a moment sooner, they saw two men standing in front of them.

"You dare steal from an Orphanage?! Have you no shame?"

Ben Falkes couldn't contain his frustration and immediately vented out his anger.

"By G.o.ds! We are not thieves! I am the Village Chief, Victor Treas, and he is Deputy Daniels, An Inspector from Phanzal City!" answered Victor.

"Then what business do a village chief and a watchman have inside the chapel in the middle of the night? You guys sure picked an odd time to offer your prayers. Stop with the lies! Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Falkes was not easily convinced that these two were who they say they are.

"We are not lying Sir, Check my pockets! There should be a Royal badge from Phanzal City! I'm a legitimate member of the Watchmen a.s.signed in Phanzal city's district!"

With his quick thinking, Daniel wanted to show them his Royal badge. It a symbol of authority granted by taking an oath, a sign of legitimate employment and as a simple means of identification.

Ben took the badge from Daniel's pocket. The badge contains the insignia of Phanzal City.

"Son, I think they're telling the truth. This man carries a Royal Seal from Phanzal City. It's proof he is a legitimate member of the watchmen. Let them go."

Falkes obeyed his father and started to untie them from their ropes.

"Alright, I apologize for hitting you, we are only trying to protect the Orphanage. So, what are you two doing here in the middle of the night?"

Even though they managed to prove their ident.i.ties, Falkes still wanted to know what they were doing in the chapel.

"RUMBLE! CRAs.h.!.+ CREEK!"

Suddenly, they heard a ruckus outside the dining area.

"I know you two are here!! After attempting to hurt my sister, you think you can get away from me?!"---

"CREAAKKK! CRAs.h.!.+"

"I'll have you know that I locked your only way out of here! So, just be a good punching bag, come out here and take your beating!"---

Fuzz E. Bear Gus used his ability to seal the chapel doors shut, so n.o.body can get in or out.

"CRAs.h.!.+ RUMBLE!"

The noises were getting louder and louder. Fuzz E. Bear Gus is frantically looking for them inside the Chapel.

"What in the world was that?!"

Falkes was even more confused about their current situation.

"As I was about to say, That thing is the reason why we are hiding here in the first place! I think it wants to kill us! By G.o.ds! We need to hide now"

Victor shuddered as he remembered the horrifying look this bear has.

"What a fine mess you've gotten us into!"

Ben was worried about the trouble they have brought in the Orphanage. Miss Sarah, Mr. Gus, and the children will be in danger if they went home while this thing roams around.

"It's not like we wanted to involve you or anyone with our affairs, things just happen, so let's leave it at that!"

Victor made a point that they were simply trying to fend for their lives. After hearing his words, Falkes can only grumble in frustration as he found nothing wrong with the village chief's statement.

"What is he talking about? What Sister?"

Ben is confused by the words that the creature has spouted.

"I have no idea myself! This monster is talking nonsense, it must be deranged!"

Victor cannot guess what this creature's motive is, but he is sure that whatever it is, it spells trouble.

"All right gentlemen, set aside your differences and listen up. I think we can all solve our problems if we find a way to get out of the building. If we manage to do so, we can lure him away from the village. If we stay here, we will definitely put everyone in danger!"

Daniel decided that they should split up, and look for an exit. Whoever makes it outside first, shall signal everybody with any loud noise they can create. This will serve as a bait to lure out the creature and at the same time, notify everybody that someone has found an exit.

"Good luck everybody, If we survive this night, I definitely owe everyone a round of drinks."

Daniel patted everybody on their shoulders as he attempts to boost their confidence.

"Let's do our best to survive this night!"

Victor clutched hard on his pendant. This was a gift from his daughter Julia.

"Father, If ever something happens to me, please take care of sister for me, "

Falkes still thought of her poor sister Alice, as he may never see the day of light again.

"Don't say that Falkes, We will definitely survive the night. May the G.o.ds watch over each of you."

Ben hugged his son and prayed for everyone's safety.

An odd relations.h.i.+p between strangers has been formed this fateful night. A father and son fugitive, a village elder, and a watchman have intertwined their fates with one another. As everyone split up to find an exit, their night of Horror and Survival begins!
